Upon seeing her third brother, she sweetly exclaimed, "Third brother, try the pastries I made, they're so delicious!"
The third prince was somewhat helpless at her sudden enthusiasm. He took the pastry, took a bite, and before he could say anything, Ning Shuyao sat down next to him.
She launched into a sweet, coquettish offensive: "Third brother, please say yes! I really want to see the outside world. I promise I'll be good and won't cause you any trouble."
The third prince remained unmoved and continued to shake his head.
Undeterred, Ning Shuyao reported for duty every day in the days that followed, accompanying her third brother in handling state affairs and telling him interesting stories she had heard outside the palace.
She would also occasionally put on a pitiful act, with reddened eyes and a pout.
The third prince was so pestered by her that he finally sighed helplessly one day and nodded in agreement.
But now, facing her second brother, Ning Shuyao hasn't had time to think of a good strategy.
But the outside world was too attractive to her; the unknown adventures and the vast world seemed to have a magical power that made her determined to go to war with the army.
Thinking this, Ning Shuyao took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling slightly, as if she were gathering all her courage.
She stood up straight, her chin slightly raised, her eyes revealing an unwavering stubbornness and determination.
She opened her mouth, about to express her thoughts and show her determination to go to war.
However, Ning Yu seemed to have anticipated her every move. His eyes narrowed, and he didn't give her a chance to speak.
His brows were furrowed, his expression was very serious, his eyes were sharp like an eagle staring at its prey, and his tone was firm and unquestionable.
He interrupted loudly, "I will absolutely not agree! No matter what sweet words or clever tricks you use to persuade the Third Prince."
Don't even think about it with me! You don't need to waste your energy, don't say anything, it won't make a difference.
Now that you've come all the way to my Haiyan County, you might as well stay here and keep your second sister-in-law company.
She usually manages the affairs of the Prince's mansion all by herself, busy with everything inside and outside the mansion, and has no one to talk to, so she is quite lonely.
You can keep her company, chat with her, and help her relieve her boredom.
From now on, stop thinking about those unnecessary things, stop worrying about going to war with the army, and get your minds back on your studies!
Ning Yu finished speaking with a cold and resolute expression, then crossed his arms tightly to his chest.
Those strong arms were like a solid barrier, radiating an undeniable and powerful aura.
His eyes were fixed on Ning Shuyao, whose face was full of defiance, and his deep gaze revealed an unwavering determination.
That gaze was like a sharp sword, piercing straight through the air, conveying to Ning Shuyao an unwavering attitude that "no matter what you say, I will not agree."
Like a cold and unbreakable high wall, it completely shut out Ning Shuyao's hope of going to war with the army.
The moment Ning Shuyao heard these words, the expectant light that had been shining in her eyes vanished instantly, replaced by endless anxiety and resentment.
Her cheeks flushed bright red from the intense emotional turmoil, like a ripe tomato, strikingly red.
A thin layer of mist quickly welled up in her eyes, like the misty vapor rising from a lake in the early morning, hazy and dreamlike.
She was both angry and annoyed, her chest heaving violently and her breathing becoming rapid. She said loudly, "If Second Brother doesn't agree to let His Sister go with him..."
Then my younger sister went to beg Qin Qianluo to secretly take me there, humph!
As she spoke, she stomped her foot hard, and the ground seemed to tremble.
That look was exactly like how a child would throw a tantrum when they couldn't get their favorite toy, so willful that no one could do anything about it, so stubborn that it made people feel a little sorry for them.
Ning Yu's hand, which was about to pick up the teacup, suddenly stopped, his movement freezing in mid-air, as if he had been frozen in place.
He looked at his unreasonable younger sister, and his expression instantly became extremely complicated.
First, a hint of surprise flashed across his face, as if he hadn't expected Ning Shuyao to be so resolute; then, a mixture of helplessness and amusement surged in his eyes.
In the end, all he could do was shake his head helplessly, but he couldn't help but smile slightly, laughing out loud because he was so angry at her.
But he knew Ning Shuyao's personality all too well; she always kept her word and did what she said she would do.
If they were to actually go to Qin Qianluo, given Qin Qianluo's soft heart and Ning Shuyao's relentless and persistent persuasion, the matter would inevitably become extremely difficult.
Even if he wanted to stop it, he probably wouldn't be able to do so from a distance.
Thinking of this, Ning Yu couldn't help but raise his hand and rub his temples hard, only to feel a sharp headache coming on, as if a thousand needles were pricking him.
He weighed the options in his mind, his gaze sweeping over Ning Shuyao, his eyes filled with entanglement and struggle.
Ultimately, torn between family ties and worries, they chose to compromise.
